What Causes Bad Body Odor?

About 9 months ago I developed a really bad body odor. I've tried every deodorant out there and I bathe twice a day. I've seen 4 doctors who all told me they smell nothing but I still got blood test that came back negative for anything. Can you tell me what this could be?

Hi.
The smell of the sweat is different in different parts of the body. This is God's gift and has its own importance and significance.

IT is very well known that certain goods and beverages, hormonal changes and all such factors do change the body's odor.

Stop all the non-vegetarian food, onions and what may alter the odor.
You have to have permutation and combinations- write down in the diary and see what causes no or the least odor.
As also you have to notice which caused the most odor- you have to stop that .

You also need a sound mind and sleep, least anxiety.
